The Weightlifter’s Journey Part 3: How Weightlifting Can Change Your Life

This week on Barbell Shrugged, our 5-part series The Weightlifter’s Journey continues with part 3, “How Weightlifting can change your life.”

On part two, we shared some key habits that will help keep life’s inevitable hurdles from derailing your weightlifting progress.

The bright lights of the competition platform are a thrill for any new athlete, but the sport of weightlifting is about much more than just chasing PR’s and winning meets. For those who’s journey hasn’t been quite so smooth or stellar, the barbell is more like a shot at redemption and a stronger life.

What do you do when you hit rock bottom? You let the barbell lift you back up. Welcome to The Weightlifter’s Journey, part 3.

Enjoy the show!
